DME
DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add three-dimensional effects such
as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide
variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these effects.
You can use two channels as dedicated DME channels. Each channel can be
used on its own or in combination with two channels, which allows you to
create advanced effects with more complexity.
Note
To carry out DME function requires the MKS-6470 DME Board Set.
Three-Dimensional Transformations
Transformation is the process of placing a video image in a three-dimensional
DME coordinate space and subjecting it to manipulations such as movement,
rotation, magnification or shrinking.
Three-dimensional coordinate space
Source coordinate space and target coordinate space
Images are placed in one of two types of coordinate space: source coordinate
space and target coordinate space.
• The source coordinate space is a three-dimensional coordinate space with
reference to the image itself. The x- and y-axes are defined parallel to the
plane of the image, and the z-axis is defined perpendicular to the plane of the
image. When you move the image, the coordinate axes also move.
• The target coordinate space is a three-dimensional coordinate space with
reference to the output monitor screen. The x- and y-axes are defined parallel
to the plane of the monitor screen, and the z-axis is defined perpendicular to
the plane of the monitor screen. The coordinates do not move even if the
image moves.
